According to recent (August 2017) research by the University of New South Wales, it was an unknown mathematician (or mathematicians) in Babylon. They produced a tablet, known as Plimpton 322, which contains tables of trig ration. This was some 1500 years before the Greek astronomer Hipparchus who, until now, was regarded the father of trigonometry. Thus, the Babylonian(s) may have been the first two astronomers - their identities are not recorded.

the founder thinks that how to relate the perpendicular triangle's sides.so that in that way he found the trigonometry.
Trigonometry is crucial for astronomers as it allows them to calculate distances to celestial objects, determine their sizes, and understand their movements. By applying trigonometric principles to angles and distances observed from different points on Earth, astronomers can create accurate models of the universe. Additionally, trigonometry aids in the analysis of light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation emitted by stars and galaxies, enhancing our understanding of their properties and behaviors.

One example of an astronomer's use of trigonometry is determining the distance to a star by triangulation.

They use complicated trigonometry and mathematics.

No one in particular because trigonometry has evolved over thousands of years with many ancient and modern mathematicians making their own discoveries and contributions to the subject.
The two branches of trigonometry are plane trigonometry, which deals with figures lying wholly in a single plane, and spherical trigonometry, which deals with triangles that are sections of the surface of a sphere.
